foutainoflife I, however, am on the fence. I didn't feel like there were a lot of answers to be found in this and while that initially bothered me, I am starting to wonder if it was intentional seeing as how when someone takes their own life, those they leave behind are left with unanswered questions. I might not have understood it completely but the things that I liked were equal to the things I didn't. I might watch again at some point but until then I'll just have to continue to ride this fence.One little thing, aside from the from the fact that he was a nutcase, did anyone else find Genesis fabulous? Even though he considered himself a Charles Manson I got more of a "Rocky Horror Picture Show" vibe while watching him. Loved the shoes!!

vmsecanho This movie has a good concept and social criticism. I understand it but don't think you have to be a genius for this. Or that the movie is for whom understand. This is the ultimate bullshit when someone try to defend something.The execution is awful. Could be a matter of culture, but they can't show emotion. The acting is bad. It is the kind of movie that don't worries in make any sense, provided that the concept was spited to the audience.The only message I will take with me is that I must kill myself for have a bad taste for music (some people for movies).obs: Are those songs anesthetics? Why the child on the phone (presumably a minion of the crap band) has to clear his/her throat every damn line?

ElTotor As someone on the topic explained it, this movie adapt the pied piper story. Nothing to deal really with Japanese culture as somebody must say. Inform yourself about the pied piper before watching the movie, then everything will be clear!It will allow you to discover plainly the quality of this great movie which is really, really close to the tale. However, it's not a perfect movie,some actors are not totally convincing (but you know, Japanese actors have sometimes a special way of acting, and it appears that in japan, people use to exaggerate reactions in real life to, like a big living theater).The gore stuff are "fun" and still work in a way, but they look flashy and cheap.

Virginie Mikaelian A movie that starts with a sequence you'll probably never forget: 54 high-school girls holding hands that jump in front of a train while some happy sounding song plays in the background. As more and more suicides seem to follow those of the girls, a group of detectives who believe that the deaths are anything but random investigate in order to find a link connecting them together… Behind the gory exaggerated and surreal images of filmmaker Shion Sono is a very accurate critique of the kind of world we live in today. A world in which the dense variety of communication outlets have isolated men to a point where the only connections we maintain are the ones that link us to the internet and where we try to relate with mainstream public figures more than we try relating with each other
